Google's been heading that way for a while, but goddamn this last month it's completely shat the bed.

My fave was the other night whrn a search for 'vast visual auditory sensory theatre' (literal artist and album) gave me top results of scholarly articles. Trying to google song lyrics gave me fucking screen issues. Utterly useless now.

Yandex gives some fun results, when was the last time you saw non-reddit forum posts pop up?

Switched to Perplexity a year ago, but I occasionally still go to Google just from muscle memory. Google's aggressively unhelpful now - it's kinda insane.
